The Montana Artisan Center is a small business located in Bigfork Montana. All of us here work closely together and this is essential to our business success. Our work is a natural extension of our daily involvement with the forests of Montana and our common love of labor on the land. Our personal lives are based in the forest and surrounding areas too, as we are avid hunters and fishermen during our free time. By working with nature’s given materials, we are able to remain close to the land which is the source of our products--and our inspiration.

  As a young boy Andy often spent time at work with his Dad in their cabinet shop. Even at that age, he remembers being amazed that his Dad could select a few pieces of wood and create some beautifully detailed piece of furniture or cabinetry. Andy has inherited his Dad's eye for acute detail. He has an extensive background in fine finish work, and cabinetry and furniture building is his true passion. He lives by the words his Dad taught him as a young boy "If it's worth building, it's worth building right. You put your signature on everything you do."
